Piss Off, Alpha! You Lost Me Forever novel Chapter 235

Chapter 235: Chapter 235 I Want Mommy

THIRD PERSON’S POV

The villa felt very cold that night.

Damien noticed it too. He sat inside his office now with several work documents spread across the desk.

His suit jacket had already been removed. He looked exhausted. He had dark circles under his eyes from not sleeping well.

Still...he kept working.

Work distracted him. Work stopped him from thinking about Sophia.

Meanwhile, across the garden at Tiffany’s new villa, Ashley sat quietly on the couch hugging her stuffed rabbit tightly against her chest.

The little girl was too silent tonight.

Ever since Sophia stopped staying at Stone Manor regularly, Ashley’s emotions had become unstable again. And after spending more time around Tasha lately, her nervousness got worse. Especially tonight.

Ashley kept looking toward the kitchen where Tasha was speaking loudly on the phone with someone. Every time Tasha looked at her directly, Ashley lowered her head fearfully.

She missed her mother badly. Even though Ashley had stubbornly pushed Sophia away before because of Tiffany’s influence...deep down, she still loved her mother.

And now that Sophia rarely stayed near her anymore, Ashley finally started feeling the emptiness clearly.

The child’s wolf blood was still weak because of her young age, but she still craved the comfort of her mother’s presence.

Ashley’s eyes became watery again.

“I want Mommy...”

The tiny whisper barely left her lips. Unfortunately, Tasha heard it.

Immediately, Tasha became irritated.

“Again?” she snapped while ending the call aggressively. “Ashley, stop this nonsense already.”

Ashley flinched instantly. Her small fingers tightened harder around the stuffed rabbit.

“But I miss her...” Ashley whispered.

Tasha rolled her eyes “You cried yesterday too. And the day before that. Aren’t you tired?”

Ashley lowered her head sadly.

At first, Tasha had still pretended patience around Ashley because of Damien. But lately, especially after moving into the new villa, her real personality slowly started slipping out. She was becoming tired of pretending.

Ashley’s crying irritated her deeply now.

“You should be grateful Tiffany still cares about you,” Tasha muttered coldly. “Your own mother barely stays near you anymore.”

Ashley’s eyes widened “That’s not true...”

Tasha snorted. “Then where is she tonight?”

Ashley became quiet. She didn’t know.

Meanwhile upstairs, Tiffany sat inside her bedroom reviewing research documents on her laptop.

Ashley’s crying echoed upstairs again.

Tiffany paused a bit. Her expression became filled with annoyance.

Ashley’s constant crying had started irritating her lately too. since Damien wasn’t here now, Tiffany didn’t need to pretend as much as before.

And deep down...she never truly liked Ashley anyway. The child constantly needed attention. She constantly cried and constantly clung to people emotionally.

It exhausted her.

Then suddenly, Ashley cried louder downstairs.

Tiffany heard Tasha’s voice.

“Stop crying already!” Tasha screamed.

A few seconds later, silence returned.

Tiffany smiled in satisfaction. She felt satisfied.

Good.

Maybe Ashley finally needed learning not becoming too dependent emotionally.

Downstairs, Ashley wiped her tears. She no longer dared crying loudly now. Tasha looked scary tonight.

Several minutes later, Tasha suddenly stood.

“Come on,” she ordered “Time for bed.”

Ashley shook her head nervously.

“I don’t want to sleep here...”

Tasha frowned “What?”

Ashley’s breathing became shaky now. “I-I want Daddy...”

“You’ll sleep here.”

“No...”

Tasha finally lost patience completely. She grabbed Ashley’s wrist harshly then dragged her toward the staircase.

Ashley gasped painfully. “T-That hurts...”

“Then stop acting spoiled!”

The little girl’s eyes filled with tears immediately. Tasha didn’t care.

Inside her bedroom later that night, Ashley shook under the covers. She didn’t even dare crying loudly anymore.

The room felt dark and unfamiliar. And without Sophia nearby, Ashley felt completely unsafe now.

The bedroom door opened. Tasha walked inside carrying a glass of water.

“You’re still awake?” Tasha asked.

Ashley shrank backward fearfully “I’m sorry...”

Tasha’s eyes narrowed “Why are you acting scared of me?”

Ashley remained silent. She was scared.

Tasha placed the water down and grabbed Ashley’s arm roughly.

The child gasped painfully. Then, Tasha pinched her upper arm hard, extremely hard.

Ashley cried out immediately. “Ah-!”

“Quiet,” Tasha hissed “Do you want the whole neighbourhood to hear you?”

Ashley’s eyes filled completely with terrified tears now.

“You’re becoming annoying lately,” Tasha whispered harshly. “Always crying for your mother. Always causing trouble.”

Ashley trembled violently now.

“I-I’m sorry...”

Tasha leaned closer “And listen, you will never tell anyone what happens inside this house. Understand?”

Ashley nodded “Y-Yes...”

“Good.”

Tasha finally released her arm then she stood. She softened her expression forcefully.

“Now sleep like a good girl.” Tasha said with a smile.

Tasha walked out.

The second the door closed, Ashley finally buried her face into the pillow while crying silently.

Hours passed and the villa eventually became completely silent. But Ashley still couldn’t sleep.
